1929 Map of West Alpaugh

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The boundary between Kings Co Tulare Co bisects a grid of agricultural development and irrigation infrastructure in this central California landscape. The terrain is characterized by large-scale water management, evidenced by the prominent Tulare Lake Water Company Canal and the Homeland Canal, which reflect the region's transformation for industrial-scale farming. In the northwestern corner, Kings Lake sits adjacent to the Shore R. R., a rail line that once hugged the shifting margins of the Tulare Lake basin. The map captures a period when the settlement of West Alpaugh served as a local hub amidst the section lines, providing a clear view of the land division and hydraulic engineering required to sustain the valley's agrarian economy.
